rawfossils Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 A cool piece frozen in time from the day they were buried together. Also a decent size Inoceramus shell for the area and always fun to find an ammonite. This piece is from Boulder, Colorado. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrangellian Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 So far away but it looks a lot like stuff we find over here (except we don't have Placenticeras... other ammonites yes). Yes, always nice to find an association piece... We have a topic for such fossils but I can never remember what it's called so I can't find it for you right now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 , supernice looks like Placenticeras was fossilized with his duvet, cool find! Do you go to prepare the Placenticeras? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you go to prepare the Placenticeras? I don't have the tools to prepare any piece more than just hitting it with a hammer. I was lucky enough for the Inoceramid valve to pop right off and then I realized there was an ammonite under it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilhunter21 Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 That is pretty neat! Ain't it nice when you get a special suprise fossil that you did not expect to be there at all? Thanks for sharing! -Micah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I once found an Inoceramid valve like this in the Haslam formation that had a bunch of brachiopods stowed underneath... Makes me wonder if it represents a behavioural thing or if it's just a coincidence or some sort of preservation assisted by the shell.

I guess brachs could be deposited death-assemblage style into an Ino 'basin' by currents, if they weren't obviously attached to the Ino shell, but who knows?
